STEA'MING-TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 26, 1909.

Application filed September 26, 1906. Serial No. 336,239.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRIEDRICH Yosr, of Utica, in the county of Oneidaand State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Steaming-Tables; and I do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a portable compact steamingtable or device complete in itself for moistening and heating garmentsin connection with cleaning and pressing them or otherwise.

Figure 1 shows a side elevationof my device. Fig. 2 shows an end View ofthe same. Fig. 3 showsa vertical central section.

4 shows a partial top view and a partial tional view.

Referring to the reference letters and figparticular description, '1indicates the table, which is of elongated form and provided with aperforated and preferably crowning top 1 and a convexbottom l The table1 is mounted on a frame work 2, whereby it is supported at suitableelevation for convenient use, and the ends of the frame at either end toFig. secplaced thereon to better advantage. Beneath the table and ithinthe frameZ, there is rovided a; boiler 3. Thainterior of the ta le 1is-divided into two chambersiby a cross cpartition 1, and the piler 3 isconnecte by steam pipes 4 with these two, chambers, the pipes 4 brancand being provided with valves 5-5, whereby either section of thechamber in the table may be shut ofi? from the boiler. supported by thepipes 4. An u right ipe 6 is provided communicating'wit h the 5:01 181at the lower end, and provided with a funnel or end whereby water can bereadily intro uced into the boiler, and 7 is a water glass by means ofwhich the height of the water in the boiler can be observed. A gas orasolene torch or burner 8 is provided under a boiler for producing heatto gen 2- The boiler; is also I cleaned or 1 chambers in the table arealthough any other producing means may be proate steam in the boiler,suitable heat vided.

When in use the perforated top of the table is preferably covered withcloth, and the garment to be operated upon is placed on top of the tableand the cloth thereon. The steam from the boiler passes into either orboth the chambers of the table and out through the perforations in thetop, and moistens and eats the garment placed on the upper surface ofthe table, which may be operated upon at the same time for cleaning,pressing or otherwise.

In case the entire perforated surface of either end of the table is notin use, the escape of steam and heat therefrom will be substantiallyshut off by an impervious blanket of rubber, cloth or other suitablematerial. hen the two valves 5 are open both ends of the fable can beused simultaneously, or by closing either of these valves one-half ofthe table may be used in the steaming and heating operation.

As will be seen the two overhanging ends of the table provide aplurality of garment receiving portions to which, by virtue of thepartition 1 and valves 5, steam may be independently admitted. Thisconstruction permits a plurality of garments to be moistened and heatedby the table at the same time, whereby while one garment is beingpressed another may be in course of reparatlon for such operation.

'Fhe arrangement of the boiler 3 beneath the table and its connectionswith the two such that the condensation from the steam in the chamberswill return through the The concave form of t taper towards thefends ofthis return, as well to the construction.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: I

The combination, in a device of the character described, of a supportingframe, a hollow elongated steaming table having a perforated top mountedon and supported by the frame and having two overhanging are bottom andthe the table facilitate ment-receiving ends, a substantially central.

partition within said table, dividing the same he gives generalstrengili ipes into the boiler.

inte two chambers, one corresponding with I each of saidgzumenb-reueivi11g ends, a steam pipe having a branch lending to each ofsaid chambers and into which steam pipe both of said chambers areadapted to drain, independently 0 arable valves in said branches, and asteam loiiei' within said frame and supported by said stemn pipe, andwhich letter fm'ms u eunnmmimtion between said chimiher and the interiorof said boiler, substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof, I have aflixed my sig nature, in presence of twoWitnesses, this 19th day of September 1906.

FRIEDRICH YOSI.
